I hope you've all had a fantastic week on and off the golf course and welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter, bringing you up-to-date with all the latest news and gossip.

Open round-up

Have you ever witnessed anything quite like that?

The ability to raise your game to the next level when it matters the most is something that very few people possess, but to do so when the wheels have started to come off, and to step up not just one but multiple levels, is something rarely seen.

Jordan Spieth left the entire golfing universe speechless with his heart-of-a-lion performance on Sunday afternoon at Royal Birkdale. A ridiculously wayward tee-shot into the heavy rough on 13 resulted in a 20-minute delay, where Spieth smartly used his knowledge of the Rules to his advantage.

The American started by taking an unplayable drop, keeping in line with his ball and the flag, onto the driving range, followed by a ‘line of sight’ free penalty drop due to the Tour Trucks blocking his path to the green. A remarkable bogey followed leaving Spieth four-over for the day and one behind with five to play.

It felt like a case of déjà vu, reminiscent of his collapse as last year’s Masters, until the American seamlessly stepped up several gears to go birdie (almost holing out on the par-3 14th), eagle, birdie, birdie, par to win his third Major title.

It was a result which 11% of you called correctly before play begun in our monthly poll, but will Spieth go on to be the youngest ever golfer to win the career Grand Slam with victory at next month’s USPGA Championship?

An electric trolley can make a huge difference to your round of golf, helping you to feel more relaxed and less fatigued. If you haven’t used one before, or maybe you’re considering upgrading to a newer model, then come and enjoy a FREE 18-hole trial on us to experience the benefits first hand.

It’s hard not to be in awe of the putting we see on TV, especially when the world’s best are competing for a major like at last week’s Open Championship. Yes, their strokes are close to perfect, but today’s putters also have a lot of technology in the face to aid the smooth roll they all love to put on the ball.

INTRODUCING MICROHINGE TECHNOLOGY FROM ODYSSEY

This Odyssey O-Works 2-Ball model is just one putter in the range to utilise a unique Microhinge face insert that delivers increased top spin at impact regardless of your stroke, providing a smoother forward roll that should lead to fewer three-putts.

You will have heard us mention the importance of the ‘scoring zone’ on various occasions, but we can’t stress enough just how vital this area is to lowering your scores. Take a close look at these up-and-down charts below:

As you can see from the statistics here, the best players in the world rely on having good short games when they find themselves out of position.

While having great technique is certainly very important for this, and we can help with that, so is having an evenly gapped wedge set-up that gives you an option from every possible situation.

Take this TaylorMade Milled Grind wedge for example, it comes in lofts from 50-60° to cover off any possible set make up we might decide is right for you, plus there are three bounce types that we can test and discuss during a fitting session.
